According to new research from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, certain cellphones may be exposing us to harmful levels of electromagnetic radiation.
Published in the Biochemical Journal, the study found that a single us of a specific cellphones for just 15 minutes can trigger brain cell changes associated with cancerous cell division.
Dr. John Bucher, Associate Director of the National Institutes of Health, National Toxicology Program, stated:
“As of now, with only 10-12 years exposure, and use increasing dramatically, there is a concern of increase in brain cancer, related to use.”
He also went on to add that children skull’s allow deeper penetration of radiation and could pose a greater risk.
Below are the top 5 phones with the highest radiation. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
The Environment Working Group has released a list of the top 5 cell phones with the lowest emitted radiation.
Brand and type | SAR level | |
1. | Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 | 0.17 |
2. | Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 | 0.26 |
3. | SonyEricsson Xperia Play | 0.36 |
4. | Samsung Galaxy Beam | 0.28 |
5. | Samsung Galaxy 551 | 0.38 |
Here is the list of top 5 most harmful phones that emit the highest level of electromagnetic radiations and pose a serious threat to your health.
Brand and type. | SAR | |
1. | MOTOROLA DROID MAXX | 1.54 |
2. | MOTOROLA DROID ULTRA | 1.54 |
3. | Motorola MOTO –e- SAR | 1.5 |
4. | Alcatel One Touch Evolve. | 1.49 |
5. | Huawei Vitria | 1.49 |
EWG has also formulated guidelines to help restrict the exposure to cell phone radiation, these are as follows-
- Use a headset
- Use the speakerphone option
- Prefer texting than talking.
- Use a low radiation phone
- Stay off the phone when you have a weak signal. Weaker signals mean more emissions to contact the tower.
You can access a larger list of phones with highest levels of radiation here and check your phone’s radiation level by typing the FCC ID number of your cell phone into the FCC database available here: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
So, next time you want to buy a new phone, please don’t forget to check the SAR level of the phone! Cheers!
